Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 252 Mysterious Formation
After leaving the secret chamber where Tang Yuanshan was imprisoned, Yan Weiran, the head of the Yan family, dismissed everyone else and left Yan Nanshuang alone.

"Nan Shuang".

"What do you think about this?"

On the high-rise building, Yan Weiran stood with his hands behind his back by the window, gazing leisurely at the entire Cloud Whale Island.

"The patriarch's strategic planning and decisive victories are truly remarkable." Yan Nanshuang bowed respectfully.

"This move not only captured Master Tang, who was trying to escape, but also allowed them to acquire the Core Formation artifact, the Profound Ice Flame."

"that is……"

"The Xiang family on Cuihu Island suffered an undeserved disaster."

"Womanly compassion!" Yan Weiran's voice deepened, clearly dissatisfied with her statement.

"If we don't take action against Emerald Lake Island, we won't be able to get our hands on the Mystic Ice Flame. This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime."

"What's more..."

"The Xiang family also has a lot of good stuff. Even if we share it with other families in the Chamber of Commerce, we will still gain a lot. It can be said that we have achieved multiple benefits."

"Yes." Yan Nanshuang nodded. Although she felt reluctant, she knew very well that this was in the best interests of the family.

"Nan Shuang".

Yan Weiran paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and sighed:
"The Yan family's current situation seems to be at its peak, but in reality, it is like cooking oil on a hot fire. If they are not careful, they could be smashed to pieces."

"Your second grandfather died at the hands of a cultivator who has undergone a tribulation. It is still unclear who leaked the information. Your talent in formations is no less than that of Tang Yuanshan, but you are still young. It will take some time for you to catch up with him."

"I……"

"I will soon take the Xuanbing Flame to break through to the Golden Core realm. If I succeed, all will be well. If I fail, the Yan family will lose a great expert."

He turned around and looked directly at Yan Nanshuang.

"The Xuanbing Flame is not the most suitable spiritual object for my Core Formation, but I have no other choice."

?

Yan Nanshuang suddenly looked up, her heart skipping a beat.

indeed.

The Yan family seems to be enjoying great success, and Master Tang is still in control, but in reality, a turning point is just around the corner.

If Yan Weiran refines the Golden Core of the Profound Ice Flame Realm, then the Yan family will be able to take another step forward and take the opportunity to become the true controller of the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce.

If it doesn't work...

The Yan family will lose another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and given their current situation, they are no longer able to completely suppress the Fang family.

For many years, the Yan family has been the controller of the Chamber of Commerce, taking the majority of the profits, which has long made other families dissatisfied.

At that time...

Nobody knows what will happen.

"Master of the house."

Her expression changed, and Yan Nanshuang spoke in a solemn voice:
"With your solid foundation and profound cultivation, and with the help of a spiritual object for forming the Golden Core, you will surely be able to achieve the Golden Core."

Even if it doesn't work out, I'm sure I can save my life.

of course.

She didn't say the last sentence.

"I hope so." Yan Weiran's expression was indifferent.

"But historically, only one in ten people have advanced to the Golden Core stage. Although I am somewhat confident, I am not absolutely certain about myself."

Always prepare for the worst.

He looked at Yan Nanshuang and said in a low voice:

"The Yan family needs the support of you younger generations, so..."

"Don't think that you can relax just because you've had an easy time these past few years and your family has a deep foundation. Now it's your turn to take responsibility."

Yan Nanshuang looked up, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Today, the patriarch has entrusted her with core responsibilities within the Yan family and has given her such earnest instruction, clearly indicating that he has high expectations for her.

…………

responsibility!

These two words weighed heavily on Yan Nanshuang, making it difficult for her to straighten her back as she returned to her cave.

"Om..."

The stone door of the cave slid open to both sides.

Yan Nanshuang followed her instincts and came to the secret chamber where the formation was being practiced.

The floor of the secret room was covered with countless dense patterns, enough to make one dizzy at a glance.

If Zhu Ju were here, he would immediately recognize that the patterns here are identical to the formation on the island that was previously broken open with the Yuan Jin Ring.

"Guidance?"

Yan Nanshuang regained her composure, looked at the formation in front of her, rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then took out two items from her person.

These two items were also among the spoils from the island.

When the calamity cultivators appeared, Yan Huazang knew he could not escape, so he secretly handed the items over to Yan Nanshuang.

About it.

She didn't tell anyone.

It wasn't out of greed, but because these items were related to formations, and she planned to study them for a while before making any decisions.

The heavy responsibility on her shoulders made her even more eager to improve her formation skills.

"Crack!"

The jade bracelet cracked, and tiny black particles the size of rice grains flew out and landed at various nodes of the formation.

"After taking so long, we have finally recreated the original formation."

Yan Nanshuang muttered to herself:
"I wonder what the purpose of this formation is?"

She had never seen such a special formation before, involving space, time, and even the celestial stars.

It is somewhat similar to the teleportation array that Tang Yuanshan painstakingly prepared, but it is also completely different.

It's just like……

Something from another world!

I thought about it.

She threw out the flying sword she had acquired, tossed out a high-grade spirit stone, and activated her true essence to try and activate the formation.

"Om..."

The array's spiritual light flickered.

The high-grade spirit stone instantly turned to ashes, and the spiritual light on the flying sword was much dimmer than before.

"Ok?"

The energy contained in a high-grade spirit stone was terrifying; it was completely extracted in an instant.

"Second-level formation?"

"At least a mid-grade second rank!"

Yan Nanshuang's eyes showed surprise:

"how is this possible?"

She was well aware of the complexity of second-order formations; they were by no means something that could be easily drawn.

Do not!
The most difficult part of this formation was not drawing the diagram, but the unknown substances hidden in the jade bracelet.

They are not there.

The formation will be useless.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Nanshuang took out a grayish stone from her storage bag and tried to throw it into the formation. This was a spirit stone, which theoretically contained energy comparable to a top-grade spirit stone, but it was very difficult to extract.

However, it is most suitable for testing formations.

next moment.

"Om..."

Strange black mists appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the stone and frantically devouring its energy.

"what?"

Yan Nanshuang's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back:
"This formation..."

"Is it alive?"

The scene before her sent chills down her spine. She tried to move away, but suddenly everything went black.

Consciousness is fluctuating.

I don’t know how long it took.

"The world of the Six Paths of Demonic Heaven".

A deep, cold voice came from an unknown place:
"Her frail body can be put to use; let's call her Yan Nanshuang..."

"Become one with me!"

"We will attain the Golden Core, the Nascent Soul, and even become beings beyond the Nascent Soul stage. We will be the masters of the world, hehe... hehe..."

Yan Nanshuang remained expressionless and staring blankly until, after a long while, her eyes moved and she regained consciousness.

She touched her cheek, her eyes shifting between tears and laughter, looking strangely like a completely different person.

"Gululu..."

The Yuanling Stone embryo was soaking in a large jar filled with white honey milk, with bubbles occasionally rising to the surface.

It felt like someone was breathing down there.

As time goes by, the honey and nectar slowly decrease, and the surface of the Yuanling Stone also softens.

The limbs gradually took shape, the facial features began to become clear, and the originally faint spirituality became more and more intense.

efficient!

Zhu Ju didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

What's funny is that the Liao siblings' deduction was correct; the honey from the Xuan Yu Bee does indeed help in hatching the Yuan Ling Stone embryo.

The one who cried was...

He only had this much honey left, and once it was used up, there would be none left. Judging from the progress, it was impossible for the hatching to be completed.

"pity!"

"The Xuanyu Bee is an ancient and exotic bee. The Liao siblings obtained the beehive by chance and went through great hardships to hatch a brood. It is almost impossible to find another one."

Helpless, Zhu Ju rubbed his forehead and shook his head with a sigh.

"However, the Yuanling Stone Embryo should be able to mature until it has clear facial features, and after another three to five hundred years of nurturing, it will take shape."

"If one possesses innate divine milk..."

"A dozen drops are enough to make it mature, so there's some hope. Even if we sell it, we can get a good price."

However, selling such a valuable treasure is not easy. After all, it is a crime to possess a treasure without being guilty. If one's cultivation is insufficient, showing it off will only attract the covetousness of others. Even if one wants to sell it, one must wait until one's cultivation is sufficient.

…………

The following days.

Zhu Ju changed his appearance and frequently appeared in various secret workshops.

He exchanged everything in his hands for spirit stones, pills, and materials needed to refine formations and magical artifacts.

The Liao sisters were renowned cultivators in the area, and Gu Xinglan was also quite wealthy, not to mention the other gains they had made.

These items are enough to complete the third formation of the Inverted Five Elements Formation.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu!"

The drunken Taoist priest, his feet light as a breeze and his long sleeves billowing, walked over, carrying a rich aroma of wine, and greeted us with a smile:

"Have you heard? Gu Xinglan has gone missing."

"Yes." Zhu Ju nodded:
"I heard that he killed Canyunzi and dared not return to the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild, so he simply went with someone to become a traitor."

Of course, he was the one who spread those words.

However, it is true that Gu Xinglan killed Can Yunzi; there are witnesses to corroborate this, and the Chamber of Commerce has also confirmed it.

"Yes!"

The drunken Taoist gently traced his breath, his voice tinged with emotion:

"Desire is like wine, intoxicating and hard to extricate oneself from. Who could have imagined that Fellow Daoist Gu would walk down this path?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhu."

"I heard you offended him. Don't go out alone these days, or you might get into trouble."

"Yeah." Zhu Ju nodded:
"I won't be leaving the island anytime soon."

Judging by the timeline, it should be time for a change of imperial power in the other world, which is when they can start seizing the benefits.

I wonder if my 'female disciple' has found the method she was looking for?

"One more thing."

The drunken Taoist stroked his beard and said slowly:
"The main branch of the Xiang family on Cuihu Island has been destroyed, and the remaining branches have chosen to submit. The Fang family will leave some people on the island, and they will become the natives of this place. Fang Chu of the Fang family is one of them."

"Ok?"

Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows:

"Why?"

Fang Chu is an outstanding figure of the Fang family in this generation, on par with Yan Nanshuang of the Yan family, and a future Golden Core seed.

Such people,
Why keep places like Emerald Lake Island, which have relatively scarce cultivation resources?

"What else could it be because of?"

The drunken Taoist's eyes were leisurely:
"Naturally, the head of my Yan family is about to go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm."

"According to past practice, if a member of the Chamber of Commerce produces a Golden Core cultivator, then all matters of the Chamber of Commerce will be decided by the Golden Core cultivator."

"Seeing that my Yan family may produce a Golden Core Grandmaster, it is only natural for the Fang family to send a portion of their members to stay here in order to preserve their bloodline."

He sighed softly:
"If the Fang family is like this, then isn't my Yan family the same?"

Is the head of the Yan family about to go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm?
Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

really!

The Xuanbing Flame ultimately fell into the hands of the Yan family; it remains to be seen whether it can successfully break through this time.

Judging from the drunken Taoist's expression, he was also somewhat worried.

While attempting to break through to the Golden Core realm might not necessarily result in death, it will certainly severely damage one's cultivation and even lifespan.

Considering the age of the Yan family patriarch, if this breakthrough fails, he probably doesn't have much time left.

Mystic Ice Flame...

It doesn't seem to perfectly match the Yan family's tradition.

When will Senior Yan attempt a breakthrough?

"do not know."

The drunken Taoist shook his head.

"Then..." Zhu Ju asked.
How long will the Chamber of Commerce stay here?

"Three or four months, I guess," the drunken Taoist calculated.
"There are still many things to deal with, which could take two or three months at the shortest, or even half a year at the longest."

enough!
Zhu Ju nodded slowly.
